“ VERY Small but the people and employees are Awesome!! They have a great choice of music on the machine but they also pay and play it for their customers too. I loved playing darts and meeting a couple new really Sweet People. Did I tell you it's a SMALL Place?.. Just so you know! But, you will have fun. They have beer, drafts and liquor drinks. If not busy then its fine for wheelchairs. Otherwise I recommend going elsewhere. I went 2 nights in a row, during Santa Caligon Days. Had a Blast. ”
